5 Games to watch and do some NCAA basketball betting
There is exactly a boatload of college hoops games this weekend, enough for a man to go on an NCAA basketball betting spree. But since we’re all for Responsible Gambling, let’s narrow that down to five games because less is more. Arizona Wildcats vs. Michigan State Spartans
Packers looking to Rebound Against Tennessee
The Green Bay Packers were supposed to be the sportsbook favorite to make it all the way to the Super Bowl and win the greatest show on turf. But heading into Week 10, the Packers have lost 3 out of their last 4 games. The first two losses were against the Cowboys and the Falcons, so the losses were dismissible because those two are some of the best playoff contenders within the NFC. However, this past Sunday’s loss against the Indianapolis Colts was not so easily dismissed. In fact the loss raised some daunting questions about this Green Bay team. Such as; are the Green Bay Packers still worthy of your bet on NFL money lines?

Is fifth time the charm for Argentina Davis Cup team?
As tennis betting fans might know, Argentina is the country that has made it to the Davis Cup Finals the most times (on four occasions in 1981, 2006, 2008 and 201) without actually winning it, but that may change later this month in Croatia when the Argentina Davis Cup team faces the home team. Argentina captain Daniel Orsanic has assembled the team will attempt one more time to bring the gold home. Orsanic appears to be a firm believer of the “don’t fix it if it ain’t broke” school of thought, summoning the same team that defeated Great Britain in the semis, and which comprises Juan Martin Del Potro, Federico Delbonis, Guido Pella and Leonardo Mayer. Unfortunately, these four men do not combine like a Zord to form a mega-tennis player.

Nothing against Djokovic, but the man had been up there since July 2014. It was high time that he quit bogarting that spot. Murray is the first British man to reach world No. 1 since the rankings were introduced in 1973, which he accomplished by defeating John Isner in the finals of the 2016 Paris Masters after Djokovic was eliminated by Marin Cilic.
